Hello. I recently reported to 343I Grimbrother One what I thought was an error in the Waypoint's encyclopedia, and he replied with a Halo trivia about Pelicans. But I don't know how I could reference this in-article whithout being erased for possible fake content. Is there any policy about this ?  ΩPer Mare, ΔPer Terras, ΨPer Constellatum 13:38, 21 January 2015 (EST)

I'm not sure of the proper way to source it myself, but I suppose screenshotting the message and uploading the image to Halopedia may be adequate. - NightHammer (talk) 14:30, 21 January 2015 (EST)
I suppose that would count as a letter of canon.Sith-venator Wavingstrider Fett helmet.jpg (Commlink) 16:30, 21 January 2015 (EST)
In the past, pasting the original message and the reply has been enough. But I agree with NightHammer, we should ideally be taking screenshots of these, to weed out potential problems of legitimacy, though of course some details may need to be blacked out to protect privacy. -- Qura 'Morhek The Autocrat of Morheka 19:04, 21 January 2015 (EST)
